SOURCES, NOTES & CREDITS: The Artwork is a rendition by the late Michael Francis McCarthy which he did for my articles on traditional popes (1832-1958) and their legacy published in the Heraldic Society of Scotland’s “Tak Tent” No. 32 ( Apr. 2006 ) and “The Double Tressure” No. 31 ( 2009 ) & No. 32 ( 2009) as well as the SSPX’s journal “The Angelus” in the July, August and September 2008 issues.
HE Bishop Bernard Tissier de Mallerais was one of four bishops consecrated for the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer on 30 June 1988. Bishop Tissier traveled the world administering the sacraments of confirmation and ordination, along with preaching retreats and visiting SSPX chapels to provide pastoral care for the faithful.
Beyond his apostolic work he is best known as the author of “Marcel Lefebvre: The Biography” the most authoritative account of the Archbishop’s life.
Bishop Tissier died on 8 October 2024 at age 79. Pray for his soul.
